Recruiting peer helper volunteers
Renison's General English at Renison (GEAR) Peer Helper program is your chance to meet new people from around the world while helping them practice their English! 

As a Peer Helper, you will attend some classes each week alongside students studying in our General English at Renison (GEAR) program. GEAR is a four-week program that helps students improve their English while experiencing Waterloo's unique innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem.

We are looking for volunteers who would be available for one or both of the following program dates:

  • January 16-February 10
  • February 21-March 17

If you so choose, you also have the option of joining our students for fun events outside of class-time, giving you even more chances to build your cross-cultural skills. All volunteers who complete their commitment with Renison ELI will receive a letter of recognition for their volunteer service - great for your resume!

To sign up, please complete the registration form online. Once we receive your registration, we will contact you with instructions for completing your Peer Helper training. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please email A.J. Dixon, Renison ELI's Student Advisor, and he will be happy to help.
